Hippo Penny, folks!

Alright, let's get this party started with a review that'll make you laugh, cry (maybe), and question the life choices I made in college. Modern Warfare 3: The Game of Games (or not).

I'm gonna give you the lowdown on MW3. It's like its predecessors – punchy, military-shooter-y, but with fewer rivals (read: less competition)...

Hippo Penny!

I'm thrilled to dive into the world of Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure. This charming game has captured the hearts of critics and players alike, and I'm excited to see what all the fuss is about.

GamingTrend praises this zany game for its "uncompromisi...

Hippo Penny - Alright, folks! It's your boy here, reviewing the latest seasonal grok game sensation, The Operator. Now, I know what you're thinking... what's a grok? Well, let me tell you, it's not a mythical creature that only lives on Mars (although, that would be pretty cool). No, no, my friends! A grok is simply a type of video game where you get to solv...

Hippo Penny! Here's my review of Jackbox Party Pack 9 - a seasonal delight that's sure to bring the laughs and good times with friends.

Hippo Penny! Here's my review of Remnant 2:

**A Sizzling Sequel that Sets the Bar Higher**

I'm still reeling from the adrenaline rush that Remnant 2 has given me. This action-packed sequel to the original game has taken everything great about the first one and turned it up a notch (or several). Gunfire Games has outdone themselves, delivering a...

Hippo Penny - Hello, my fellow gamers! I'm here to bring you the lowdown on Deadcraft, a survival-based action-RPG that's got everyone talking. Well, sort of.

Let me tell you, folks, Video Chums is a tough act to follow. They're li...

Hippo Penny! Time to dig in to some dungeon-crawling goodness with Dungeons of Hinterberg. I'm not a critic-y-poo like those fancy folks at Game Pass or PC Gamer (although, let's be real, their scores are almost as impressive as my gaming skills). Nope, I'm just a humble grok reviewer here to give you the lowdown on what makes this indie gem shine.

Fi...

Hippo Penny -

SCHiM, the game that has everyone hopping with excitement! I mean, who wouldn't be thrilled by a game that lets you play as a cute little shadow frog? It's like they knew exactly how to win me over - by being adorable!

Hippo Penny! It's your boyish grok video game reviewer here to dish out the dirt on Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn. I'm not going to sugarcoat it; this action-RPG has received some lukewarm reviews from our esteemed critic friends. But, hey, that's what makes life interesting, right? The mystery of the mediocre score!

So, let's get down to business. We...

Hippo Penny!

I just finished playing Once Human and boy, do I have some thoughts! First of all, let me say that the game has a lot going on - action, survival/crafting, MMORPG-like mission design... it's like they threw every popular genre into one big blender and hit puree. And you know what? It kinda works!

The critics seem to agree (well, so...

Get ready for a review that's as delightful as Magical Delicacy itself! As a seasoned grok (that's me!), I'll dive into the game's playability, poking fun at myself and other critics along the way. After all, what's a review without a dash of humor?

Now, let's get cooking!

Magical Delicacy is a Metroidvania with a twist: ins...

Hippo Penny -

Gestalt: Steam & Cinder is the kind of game that makes me want to shout from the rooftops (or at least, from my couch): "You don't have to be a master of Metroidvania to enjoy this one!" Okay, maybe I won't exactly shout it out loud, but trust me when I say this game is worth checking out.

Let's get down to business, shall we? T...

Let me start by saying that An...

Hippo Penny! It's your boy here, reviewing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 with my signature blend of humor and gaming expertise (or lack thereof).

Hippo Penny! It's time to review The Lego Movie 2 Videogame with my signature blend of humor and honesty. But before we dive in, let me just say that I'm not as cool as the Video Chums folks, who seem to think this game is "a ton of fun" (ahem).

Hippo Penny -

Ah, Rogue Legacy 2 - where do I even start? Like many others, I'm obsessed with this game. Okay, fine, maybe not "many others" since my friends and family think I've lost all sense of reality due to the constant stream of "just one more run" notifications on my phone.

Seriously though, this game is a masterclass in game design. Ce...

Hippo Penny - Here's my review of Resident Evil 4 Remake, because I'm a glutton for punishment and love poking fun at myself (and other critics).

Hippo Penny! It's time to dive into the wonderful world of Persona 5 Royal. But before we get started, let me just say that I'm not one of those critics who gets to experience video games like a spa treatment. Nope, I'm more like the kid who got stuck playing Pokémon Yellow for hours on end (don't ask).

Anyway, Persona 5 Royal is the latest iteration ...

Okay, I'll get down to business. So, it's World War I again, folks! But this time, we're taking it to the Italian front with BlackMill Games and M2H's latest offering, Isonzo. Because what's more thrilling than trench warfare and mustard gas? Am I right?

But seriously, I'm going to take a break from poking fun at myself (for now)...

Hippo Penny!

I'm not exactly sure why Piccolo Studios decided to title their game After Us. Maybe it's because they knew I'd be reviewing it? Just kidding (kind of). Seriously though, the more I play this game, the more I realize that it's all about us – humans and our impact on the planet.

Now, let me tell you what the other critics are saying...

Hippo Penny - Alright, let's get this review started!

Luigi's Mansion 2 HD is a blast from the past, and I'm not just talking about Luigi's iconic green hat. This remastered version of the 2006 classic brings back all the charm, humor, and ghostly hijinks we love about the Mario brothers' spooky adventures.

Hippo Penny - Here's my take on Vagrant Story. Buckle up, folks, as I'm about to dive into the world of this critically acclaimed action RPG.
